How to make Honey Apple Pork Loin:

First I start by cutting slits into the pork and stuffing sliced Granny Smith apples into those slits. I do this on a cutting board, it would be very difficult to do this in the slow cooker, you will see in my photos and video how tight of a fit the pork is.

I lay onion and more apple slices down in the slow cooker. I also add a few pats of butter. I do this for a bit of cooking liquid for the pork, and to add more flavor.

After adding the pork to the slow cooker I season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Then I drizzle over honey and lay over thyme sprigs. I cook this honey apple pork loin for 6 hours on low.

Ingredients:

• 4 lb. pork loin I use a center cut
• 2 granny smith apples sliced and divided
• 1 white onion sliced
• ½ cup butter sliced
• ¼ tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. pepper
• ½ tsp. cinnamon
• ¼ cup honey
• ½ tsp. dried thyme or a few sprigs of fresh
• US Customary – Metric

Instructions:

1. Cut slits on the top of the pork loin, I cut about an inch down. Plug in apple slices into the slits. Set aside.
2. Add the onions and remaining apple slices down in the slow cooker. Lay over the slices of butter.
3. Add the pork loin.
4. Sprinkle the pork with the salt, pepper and cinnamon. Add the thyme.
5. Drizzle over the honey.
6. Cover and cook on LOW for 6 hours without opening the lid during the cooking time.
7. When the cooking time is done. Remove the pork onto a platter and let rest for at least 5 minutes. Slice and serve.
